HSOY urges Council to ban roadside sale of animals

The Humane Society of Yuma calls on the public to urge the Yuma City Council to ban the roadside sale of animals.

Last June, HSOY Executive Director Shawn Smith went before the City Council to make the case for the ban.

This Tuesday (August 12), Smith will again address the issue with the Council during a work session.

The roadside sale of puppies not only poses an animal and public health concern but exacerbates the tragic epidemic of pet over-population, the consequences of which we are, sadly, all too familiar with.

We ask all those who to email the City Council in support of the ban (contact information below) and forward this email/posting to others and ask for their support as well.
